Family Trip
Loved the location ,the views were amazing and the private access to the lake was great for our paddle-boarding.
Lots of walks locally so from the door which was great.
The property was beautiful plenty of room for us as a family of 7 adults.
Welcome hamper was a lovely touch .
We will be back x
The only thing we noticed was there was no kindling or firefighters but we managed.

This was one of the best stays we've ever had.
The position was stunning, views over the lake were a joy to experience, particularly if you're an early riser. The house is so spacious and the right temperature. We were there with our family (6 people) and there was room for everyone to have their own space and enjoy being together. The lounge area is perfect with huge sofas for everyone to chill after a day's exploring. The kitchen is great space and equipped with everything you could need and there were more bathrooms than we could have wanted. The garage table tennis was great fun for everyone :) Hannah our contact was very communicative and helpful at all times. I felt I could rely on her completely in the event of needing assistance. Fantastic stay, and wonderful memories made. Thanks so much!!

We had such a wonderful relaxing 3 nights staying here!
The large windows in the lounge offer such breathtaking views over Grasmere - we visited Tarn Hows and were actually a little underwhelmed, and when we got back realised that it was because the views there had nothing on what the property offered! It was so lovely to wake up early and see the early morning mist rolling across the lakethe shadows falling across the fells as the sun sets. Just magical. There is plenty of hikes directly from the door and an easy stroll into Grasmere so you don't have to worry about paying for parking. There's also a lovely little loop down along the shoreline towards Rydal Water and back along the lane if you just want a smaller late evening stroll. The drive is very steep initially from the road (definite first gear territory!) but do-able if you take it carefully. And thankyou for the incredibly generous welcome basket, it was much appreciated after a long drive to get there. Would recommend!

Comfortable cottage in a great location
Comfortable cottage with amazing views across the lake. Lovely walks from the house and within easy walking distance of Grasmere.
Could do with a little updating in places.
